Hey Bb, we do have the Curt weight distribution shank part # 17120 which can do a drop of up to 6-1/8 inches which would be perfect for either the Fastway kit you mentioned or the Curt system part # C95MJ you referenced. Which system do you have?

Hey Bb, did the Curt weight distribution shank work out for your Fastway e2 system? I'm asking because your experience could help others looking for a similar solution.

@JamesonC thanks for getting back to me in an expedient fashion..... in the mean while I learned that that fastway changed their design of the e2 to fit the drop hitch of the small equalizer. and it will take an upgrade to find the right parts i needed for my application. I appreciate your recommendation for the Curt 17120, but it seemed like a "janky" fix, as it would put all the stress directly on the pins and not share the load with the tube steel of the Equalizer drop hitch. I will however agree that your recommendation would have saved me 50 or so bucks and the aggravation of dealing with the equalizer corporation, but I have the assurance now that I have the backing of the manufacturers warrantee
